I think I will.

I was all sad, because with the holidays over, I didn't have any decorating projects to look forward to. And since I just put away all the Christmas decorations yesterday (yes, I really am that lazy), my place is looking kind of empty.

But then I went to Michaels and saw some really cute, classy, not over the top Valentines Day decor. And I thought "heck, why not?" I've never decorated for this holiday before. I've never even been tempted. The light pinks and bright reds kind of stress me out. But dark reds and browns and tans- now that's another story.

See? Pretty.

...except I just noticed a bright pink thing sticking out on the right. And it's stressing me out again. Excuse me while a go download a copy of photoshop and FIX THAT MADNESS.

Here are the decorations I'm just itching to buy:

(sorry about the quality, I was in the store snapping these with my phone)

Well, hi. I'm Helena. I grew up on a blueberry farm in Western Michigan. My days were spent reading on the beach in the summer, and reading in my bedroom under a quilt in the chilly Michigan winter. I moved out to Utah to go to school, and to get away from my family. You know, typical angsty teenager stuff. While out there, I met this guy named Kurt, who was also from Michigan. But we were just friends.

Flash forward 9 years. We got married, and then we moved to Pittsburgh so he could go to Dental School. What can I say, the guy likes teeth. Now we have a little girl, a baby boy, two little turtles, and a whole new adventure ahead of us. Welcome to my life.
